Something like it

It was like running into a wall of brick

or being shot with a gun in the face.

It was like diving into water so thick

you disappear without a trace.

It was like a noose tied around my neck

but I just won’t die.

It’s like the feeling you get

when you know it’s a lie.

It was like time had ended

and I was lost.

Like I was all alone and stranded

trying to get home no matter the cost.

I was too gone

and the world didn’t seem to fit.

Like I was coming undone,

or something like it.
